Note; you may replace pancetta with 6 slices of bacon
Preparation
In a large casserole over medium-high heat, add half the oil and pancetta pieces. Cook pancetta until crisp. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Season cubes with salt and pepper and add them to the casserole. Sear cubes on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, adding oil if necessary. Remove cubes and set aside.
